Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three Watching the Pet Fight
In fact, in this gambling area, there are many more monks than ordinary people.
After all, this gambling is the largest place in the gambling city, and the consumption is quite high. Ordinary ordinary people cannot afford it. Moreover, the monk also likes to come here to gamble and fight. Although he does not use spiritual power,
But a monk is a monk after all. If nothing else, he is in trouble. For any treasure, ordinary people may lose their fortunes and cannot buy it.
Everyone who has played gambling knows that many gambling methods are based on a capital. If the capital is too small, you will often not win, or you can only win a small amount.
Those monks are like this. They bet ten spiritual stones or a spiritual sword at every turn... How do you call ordinary people gamblers, gambling kings, and gambling saints? You have to bet your own life every time.
?Even the soul?
Even if there are ordinary people who put their wealth and life on the line as soon as they come up, and even their three souls and six souls, they can win. But there is no guarantee that they will not meet those monks who cannot afford to lose. They are stuck every day and gamble with nine lives every day.
Not enough to lose!
Therefore, gradually, ordinary people learn to behave. Basically, no ordinary people will gamble with monks anymore. This is also the case in this gambling area. In other words, basically, ordinary people will not end up personally.
Bet and fight, give up all seats
They were given to monks. But ordinary people mostly bought horses on the side. Some of them served as advisers to the monks, especially for those monks who were new to the game. They served as guides and explained various gambling methods, and even
Practice with me.
So, strictly speaking, in this gambling area, most of the people sitting in the seats betting and fighting are monks. However, they are generally very quiet, and there are very few of them who shout. They are all quiet.
Sitting there quietly. In this way, the spectators next to him, including ordinary people who helped or bought horses, were also quiet. How can I put it, according to Wuxu, it looked a bit like a library or a study room.
Wuxu was curious and asked Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan knew this, and immediately explained, "Monks in gambling, except for the lack of some of them being like the bad gamblers in the world, are actually relatively controllable. So.
One of them comes to gamble and fight to hone his character, and the other is because he is desperate and wants to give it a try. But no matter what, he will at least maintain the attitude and bearing that a monk should have."
"Moreover, if you observe carefully, fellow Taoists will find that those who hone their character will usually choose gambling battles in casinos, while those who really want to compete will often choose gambling battles with other monks."
While Li Mingshan was talking to Wuxu, she followed the shopkeeper Qian and passed through many gambling tables.
During this period, Wuxu had seen many monks stand up and leave expressionlessly, but from the surge of spiritual energy around their bodies, he could still tell whether they were losing or winning.
But to be honest, in such a large casino, the gambling methods are not very rich, and they are far from being comparable to Wuxu's later generations. Generally speaking, they are just some games that compare points and sizes. These games, Wuxu
Feeling that it would be difficult for him and Zhu Yuanzhang to cheat, he told Li Mingshan his intention. Li Mingshan understood and asked shopkeeper Qian, "Besides these gambling battles, are there any other types?"
Shopkeeper Qian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, in addition to these, there is another type of gambling method. However, this type of gambling method should not be available in tomorrow's gambling game. However, fellow Taoist
It doesn't hurt to take a look." Then he led Li Mingshan to a corner, took out a sign, and waved it towards a monk who was obviously from the casino. The monk, whose face was covered with scars, seemed unable to speak, saw
After that sign, he nodded, turned around and walked out.
Shopkeeper Qian motioned for Li Mingshan and himself to follow him out. After leaving the local gambling area, this person did not go towards the local gambling area. Instead, after walking more than a hundred meters, he came to a lonely attic. It seemed that
It is used as a resting place during the journey. After entering, there are various teas, drinks and snacks, as well as many clean jade stools or futons. Someone is already there, either feeling rested or having red eyes.
Shopkeeper Qian seemed to be familiar with the road, and he led Li Mingshan as if he was not seeing anything, and continued to move forward behind the scarred monk. The scarred monk walked to a screen with a tiger emerging from the tree. The opened tree was painted farther away and closer to the screen.
The tiger is painted very prominently, occupying almost three-quarters of the entire picture. It is unknown what materials and techniques were used, and it seems that it will appear at any time.
Brother Scar stood in front of the tiger, stretched out his right hand, and gently pressed his palm on the tiger's head. Suddenly, the tiger seemed to come to life completely, raising its head and roaring, and its bloody mouth opened wider and wider.
Bigger and bigger. Then, Li Mingshan seemed to really hear a roar. Then she saw that the screen was gone, and a copper door was revealed in its place.
The copper door has been opened, and the scarred monk is standing aside. Shopkeeper Qian shook his sleeves, and a piece of spiritual stone flew towards the scarred monk, and at the same time, he took Li Mingshan and strode forward.
The copper door behind him closed automatically in an instant. Fortunately, the corridor was relatively spacious and only about a hundred meters away. After that, he arrived in front of a building that looked like a tavern.
The entire building seems to be made of huge rocks. At the gate, there are two guards. They are full of evil spirits, and their cultivation is not inferior to Wuxu and others. On the gate, there is a deeply carved Chinese character, "fight", which gives people a sense of security.
It has a rather depressing or gloomy feeling, as if you have arrived at an old manor full of gloomy murderous intent.
After shopkeeper Qian and Li Mingshan entered, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came over to them with a straight face.
"How many pet fights are there now?" Shopkeeper Qian seemed to recognize this person and asked directly.
This man, however, did not recognize Shopkeeper Qian, and replied in a hoarse voice, "There is a battle between demon pets now, and there will be a battle between human pets later."
Demon pet? Human pet? Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other in the legal world with strange expressions. I don’t know what Zhu Yuanzhang thought of, while Wuxu thought of the Spartan fighting arena in the history textbooks of later generations.
Here, shopkeeper Qian gave the man some spiritual stones and received a stone talisman, something like a key. He walked to a place and opened the stone room, which was like opening a room in a hotel. In the stone room
, there are tea, drinks, snacks, seats, soft couches similar to those in the previous loft, and even a glorious jade wall similar to a TV set. That jade
On the wall, an extremely bloody scene is displayed. A monkey and a snake are fighting to the death. To be precise, they are monsters, not ordinary animals. Because, whether it is a monkey or a snake,
, their eyes, although already very crazy at the moment, still retain a hint of spirituality, giving people a somewhat similar feeling.
This monkey has yellow hairs standing up all over its body, looking like steel needles. Half of its face is rotting, as if it was poisoned by snake venom. Its jumping movements are also a little shaking, as if drinking
As if drunk.
The snake demon kept squirming on the dark ground, with small drops of blood constantly flowing out of its body. It seemed to be very afraid of the golden nails on the long arms of the monkey opposite, and kept staring there, hissing.
The ground spit out the letter.
"This is a special place in the casino. Both sides of the gambling battle have pets of the same level, which are placed in a special secret room, and the winner is determined by life and death." Shopkeeper Qian explained to Li Mingshan concisely.
"After being placed in the secret room, can the owner still control them?" Li Mingshan quickly woke up from the initial shock and asked thoughtfully.
Shopkeeper Qian smiled with satisfaction, apparently because Li Mingshan could still ask such a crucial question at this time, "Generally speaking, it is not allowed."
.After the pet is placed in the secret room, it is completely isolated from the outside world. This is truly fair."
"What if they don't fight? Just like now," Li Mingshan pointed at the jade wall, "Even if they will fight in the end, the time will be wasted."
Shopkeeper Qian smiled mysteriously, "Of course there is a solution to this. Generally speaking, this kind of competition allows the pets of both parties to temporarily stop fighting. This is also to make the competition completely real, or interesting. But if both sides feel that it is time
If it is too long, if unanimously agreed, the casino can be asked to use Kuang Hua Powder."
Just as he was talking, a small hole appeared on each of the four walls of the secret room shown on the jade wall. Then he saw that the monkey in the corner and the snake on the ground seemed to have been given blood. The monkey beat himself with both hands.
chest, roaring loudly, the snake suddenly flew up, just
Landing on the ground with its tail, it was like a person standing upright. Then, the snake hissed like lightning and flew towards the monkey; the monkey's originally hunched body also suddenly exerted force and jumped.
Like flying, the two arms kept flying, forming a rotating golden gear.
A piece of bloody blood was spilled, and the snake's body was instantly transformed into more than ten pieces under the monkey's golden claws. But the monkey let out a wail, and kept beating its chest with both hands. Then, it fell to the ground.
The ground twitched endlessly. After a moment, a small snake flew out from his chest.
"This seven-step soul-chasing snake is not only extremely poisonous, but also has the ability to cut off the body and kill the enemy. Although the water-repelling golden ape has better defense and a slightly higher level of cultivation, it was defeated in the end."
Shopkeeper Qian said calmly from the side.
"Why bother?" Li Mingshan said coldly, "It would be better for the two masters to go out in person and have a showdown.
Seeing that Li Mingshan seemed a little disgusted with this kind of gambling fight, shopkeeper Qian thought for a while and couldn't help but explain, "Fellow Taoist, I don't know something. Although this kind of gambling fight is slightly bloody and murderous, for some demon cultivators,
It is said that it is also an excellent way to practice. Not to mention catching pets, how to tame and train pets is actually
Depending on the owner's ideas, hobbies and even resources, it is really an open and covert struggle between the owners. Moreover, whether the owner or the audience, we sit and watch other beings or even the same kind become pets, and then fight to the death in the secret room.
Not giving up, and calmly valuing and placing bets, these are all a kind of devilish cultivation."
After listening to this, Li Mingshan remained silent and thoughtful, and the demonic energy in her body seemed to have changed.
Shopkeeper Qian's eyes flashed. He thought about it and seemed to think that tomorrow's gambling game was not a bad thing, so he said nothing.
Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang are worried in the legal world. If Li Mingshan becomes more possessed by this, it will be even harder to deal with.
"Amitabha!" Wuxu was in the Dharma Realm, chanting and chanting the Buddha's name toward Li Mingshan.
Li Mingshan woke up immediately, but her face was uncertain. After a while, she still said to the shopkeeper Qian, "I see, I will go back to rest and wait for tomorrow's gambling game."
Shopkeeper Qian saw that Li Mingshan was in a daze, and was worried that something might go wrong for Li Mingshan and affect her condition, so he nodded, "Although I don't know how to gamble in tomorrow's game, I don't expect to use this method. It's just that.
Just in case, Qian had the courage to bring fellow Taoists here to have a look." After saying that, he used the stone talisman to open the stone chamber.
But when they were about to walk out, Wuxu from the Dharma Realm hurriedly sent a message to Li Mingshan, "Fellow Taoist, please leave soon!"
Li Mingshan stopped in surprise, and then looked towards the jade wall with emotion.
In the same secret room, the monkey and snake had long since disappeared, replaced by two people. To be precise, they were two human monks.
